Twenty-eight villages in the north Indian state of Haryana, which produced the country's greatest fast bowler Kapil Dev, have banned cricket barely two weeks after the national team's World Cup first-round exit.

"We all have taken this decision and those who go against it will have to face social boycott. We've enshrined this in the Panchayat records of 28 villages," said Tewa Singh, head of Dadan Panchayat.

yes indeed they are a bunch of chops - the key to prevent bad performances from future teams is to develop the young players from currently to the time that they are playing in tournaments of this type

in terms of India they are in the crapper because the government wasnt spending too much to develop any sport by giving the youngsters any coaching or facilities to be able to develop their skills in this and any other sport - now that their govt has relented and started providing funds and facilities you get these total chops who want to be "clever" without realising they should rather be intelligent cos its "monkeys" that are clever
